Connect gateways
Create coverage by connecting gateways.
The Things Network is currently developing their own gateways which will be in retail near the end of this year. You can pre-order these affordable gateways in the shop already.
You probably don't want to wait that long. Happily, The Things Network supports different kinds of gateways like the Multitech, Kerlink and Lorank. You can even build your own gateway.
In case you already have a gateway, you can add it to the map.
COMMUNICATION CHANNEL
Create a channel to communicate internally.
In order to communicate internally, we highly recommend you to create a Slack group. It is a free messaging app that helps organizing your team conversation and allows you to directly reach out to members.
You can also use other ways of communication, as long as you make sure people have easy access to join the conversation.

The New Limerick Radio Station
Early days right now. However, we have a LoRaWAN gateway now installed in Henry Street and there appears to be another planned around Clancy Strand.
LoRaWAN is a very young technology that should allow anyone to put "things" on the Internet. We're talking temperature sensors, weather stations in your back yard, digital signage, bicycle trackers, etc. And the really good thing? There are no subscription or monthly fees to pay.
If you would like to add a node (e.g. a temperature sensor), you don't need to get my permission - just do it but make sure you are within range of a gateway. Also make sure you are using the 868MHz band.
If you would like to set up additional gateways, would love to hear from you. Don't worry about what looks like overlapping coverage on the TTN map....the more the merrier.
